Close, Close thine eyes <br />And listen to the quiet, <br />For, therein is the sweetness <br />Of My whisper. <br /> <br />Close, Close thine eyes, <br />To shut out worldly vision, <br />For when blindness is chosen, <br />The choice is to see. <br /> <br />Close, Close thine eyes, <br />And fall ye sleeping to <br />This mortal world, <br />For in dreams <br />Shall thee awaken unto me. <br /> <br />Close, Close thine eyes, <br />To practice for that hallowed day <br />That first death shall seal them shut. <br /> <br />Close, Close thine eyes <br />And come ye softly home. <br /> <br />Close, Close thine eyes, <br /> <br />Close, Close, <br /> <br />Close <br /> <br />5-17-06<br /><br />~~~ Leaven ~~~<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/close-close-thine-eyes/
